Mazzy has opened a store. It's located between the couch and the bookshelf and the inventory changes constantly.
She sells shells, rocks, playing cards, homemade Blue's Clues, costume jewelry, and farm animal figurines.
Prices vary depending on the day.
Whether she is willing to sell anything to you at all or even grasps the basic principles of consumerism is anybody's guess.
Sometimes she says she is selling and sometimes she says she is buying, which can only mean that she is running an elaborate importer/exporter business out of our end table.
Despite her recent entry into the business world, Mazzy can be surprisingly shrewd.
She insists on taking your money before she hands over your purchase and then she almost always immediately reclaims it by saying "I'll hold it for you for later"— knowing full well that you will forget about the sale come tomorrow.
She also knows that if you want to sell something for a high price and your customer is known to bargain, you should start obscenely high.
Like the time she tried to sell poop in a box to her dad for $50.
Yes, there's video. (That's me laughing and trying my best to hold the camera straight.)
Did I mention she is very exclusive about who she sells to?
Hmph.
“It’s just for Daddy.” Hahahaha!!
Brilliant – she’s well on her way to making a lot of money in the future.
So cute! I think it is great she is learning about money. My toddler was most distraught when she realized things in stores aren’t free. She and her her sister had $2 to spend at the dollar atore, was excited about ” my monies”, to go to the store, to pick what she wanted … then surprised at the need for exchange of money for goods ” But why? It’s my monies!!”. Did decide on her treat but highly suspicious of the whole affair. Thenfor a few days after kept asking ” Where did my monies go?”. Also last post – sooooo sweet re: Mommy is MY baby! Last night my todller looked up at me and said ” Mommy? You my best friend!” Be still my heart.
Wow!! I could not stop laughing…it’s 5am and I am at work looking over my shoulder to see who is staring at me…your little girl is HILARIOUS!
That’s great! Are you no suspicious of boxes lying around the house?? I would be scared!
People pay 50 bucks for s–t all the time. Have you been to the mall?
She is a shrewd businesswoman. That’s why the tissue box is there…for her customers’ tears.
Great video! Thanks for the laugh!
Just wait until she starts trying to sell her poop to strangers on the street while pulling her goods in a wagon. It’s at that point you will pretend she’s not your child. Hilarious!
This is too funny! Gotta love that entrepreneurial spirit.
I’m amazed that she knows $30 is less than $50…unless I’m just completely ignorant on what a 2-yr old should know ;). Too bad she won’t sell to you 🙁
Oh, that had me cracking up! So very cute, all of it.
Jww
I LOVE her haggling – she seemed nonplussed by her dad’s claim that $50 was highway robbery. Her face said, “Fine, take it or leave it. It’s not my problem if you don’t know the value of quality poop.”
she’s completely adorable and I love that she knows her way around a cash register. The bartering and haggling were my favorite parts, I can see her on Canal Street now. 😉
thanks for the giggle!
That’s the part I found most amazing too. I think she just got lucky. I didn’t even know she knew any numbers past 20.
Hey. If no one else is offering, I’ll buy that kick-ass flower purse.
(Or is that just for Daddy, too?)
PRICELESS! I had tears rolling down my face I was laughing so hard. What a cutie pie!
Thank you for this! Now my husband can’t stop singing “Its a poop in a box” Justin Timberlake style.
The end is priceless.
OMG, that was hilarious and adorable and also a little bit gross all the at the same time! Mike’s part in it was priceless.
And don’t you just love the, “I have a poop,” announcement?
Too stinkin’ cute!
I’m sorry, our poop is only for Daddy. Ha ha ha ha! I love Mazzy
I love Mazzy but I wouldn’t buy her poop
Oh my goodness! She is so cute! I had to pull it up on the tv so my four year old could watch. She thought your daughter was so adorable but couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t sell her mommy poop, too. She said that Mazzy needs to share her poop, she didn’t want you to feel left out. :p
